Succinct Statement of Fact

Avedon Carol:

In other words, while the Republicans are certainly mean and crazy mad dogs with rabies, the Democrats are also crazy and at best callous beyond all decency, though they don't have rabies and therefore don't foam at the mouth, thus appearing "saner". But they are still destructive, callous, and embarked on a course to barbarism. Whether they are stupid enough to believe the crap they write or simply working from the script is, while an entertaining question for late-night drinking bouts, largely irrelevant, since both parties are trying to enforce right-wing policies on you and destroy the very essence of the American form of government (i.e., liberal government).

And no, "barbarism" is not too strong a term.
